Clutch tears up Detroit

Lionize formed around 1994 and hail from Washington D.C. They consider themselves a groove-heavy rock group.

They are constantly busy writing new material and already have 5 studio albums to show for it. Now they are releasing a new album entitled Superczar and the Vulture, which bass player Henry Upton has described as a live experience recorded.

Upton said that all songs were recorded with analog equipment and mostly in one take, to preserve that live feeling.

Even though Clutch are native to Maryland, the band has a huge fan base in Michigan, possibly their biggest group of fans.

Lead singer Neil Fallon said "Michigan was one of the first places that really took off for us. It was a bit of an epicenter for us cause from there it went to places like Columbus, Toronto...Milwaukee..if you can imagine it was the pebble in the pond and went out from there as far as this part of the country goes".

Neil said when he is relaxing and not rockin out, he like to listen to Muddy Waters and Tom Waits as a contrast to being around loud rock most of the time.

Stepping away from the Blues riffs that Clutch has been flirting with the past few years, they have gone back to rock for the new album Earth Rocker. It is said to be the hardest and fastest Clutch album to date.
